So I'm planning a large brown (over 1.100) ale this weekend and I'm hoping to use one strain of the 3 different strains I have on hand. I've got B, C, and L to choose from. The only pure strain is C. The B came out of some Bruery saison and the L is from another blend. I plan on tossing in a slurry of S-04 or US-05 along with the Brett. Also planning on mashing mid-range (153-154) and doing a longer boil to keep some body in there.
So which strain should I use? I like the aromas the B is giving off in a starter, some overripe apricot and pear, the L gives off cherry, and the C gives off pineapple fruit and sometimes cherry. I'm really split here.
